In a new teaser for the upcoming EPiC film, a never-before-seen side of Elvis Presley is finally revealed. The King of Rock and Roll admits, “There’s been a lot written and a lot said, but never from my side of the story.” Directed by Baz Luhrmann and backed by NEON Films and Universal Pictures, the concert film promises an intimate look at Presley during one of the most electrifying periods of his career in the late 1960s.
An Instagram film trailer hints at lost footage and teases the legendary residency Elvis began in Las Vegas in 1969. The anticipation is palpable as fans await a deeper insight into the iconic performer’s life and career.
The EPiC teaser, set to the moving track “An American Trilogy,” offers glimpses of intimate home footage, showcasing Presley on vacation, with his daughter Lisa Marie as a baby alongside his former wife Priscilla Presley, on stage performing, and in the recording studio honing his craft.
In a January 2025 interview with Deadline, Baz Luhrmann revealed the discovery of hidden reels and never-before-seen concert footage while working on the film Elvis. The director had privileged access to unreleased content stored deep in the vaults, uncovering a treasure trove of footage from Elvis: That’s the Way It Is and Elvis on Tour, shot on anamorphic 35mm film.
Luhrmann expressed his excitement at finding high-quality visuals and rare behind-the-scenes audio, including recordings of Elvis sharing personal stories in his own words. The EPiC film is expected to shed new light on the legendary performer, giving fans a fresh perspective on his life and legacy.
EPiC is set to premiere in IMAX on February 20 for a limited run before its worldwide release on February 27. With its unprecedented access to unseen footage and personal recordings, the film promises to offer a unique glimpse into the life of the “King of Rock and Roll.”
